Did the first run ever hit the stores? Just curious, I know a few people who are still waiting.

Orders were taken on these over a year ago, that's when I ordered mine. Bowser's accouncement page on Facebook last week said they are "expected in their facility on February 20th." We'll see!

As of Sunday morning, the link in this thread to bowser-trains.com returns a "404 Not Found."

Not a good sign...

Does anyone know if the demonstrator ever ran on the Monon?

That would seem unlikely since the Monon C628's were delivered in 2-3/64 and the demo set was not built until 5/64.

According to an advertisement from Bowser that I received tonight, the New Monon C628's have arrived.

Here it is.  Haven't fired it up yet.  Looks very nice...my first Bowser loco.  All I need now is a engineer figure that looks like Ron Marquardt....  ;-)
